    You can get a good new bike for that sort of money. Have a look in your LBS.

    This is true, you can get a very nice new bike, carbon fork, possibly carbon frame for this amount, however, if you are looking for a second hand bike, have a poke around www.marktplaats.nl , it's in dutch but has some excelent second hand deals, it has a very good reputation here in Holland
    If you need any help with translation, just ask, I'm more than happy to help.

    Regarding size it depends on frame geometry and configuratation.
    You can always make a smaller frame larger by adjusting the seatpost height and changing the stem for a longer one but you can't make a big one smaller. :)

    If you go into your local bike shop, they should be able to do your measurements for you, and then recomend a frame size/stem size etc...
